speaker boehner, house republicans have refused to consider this responsible proposal, even though it has the votes to pass right now. the reason for this is clear. republicans would rather protect themselves from a primary challenge than address the challenges that face our nation. that's why house democrats have resorted to introducing a discharge petition this week to demand a vote on immigration reform. this is supposed to be a democracy. comprehensive reform is backed by a majority of the american public, including the business community, labor unions and religious organizations. comprehensive reform would grow our economy, strengthen families and open doors of opportunity for millions of americans who want to embrace the american dream. america's always been a nation of immigrants. continuously revitalized by those who come to our shores to make a better life for themselves and their families. now is the time to pass exrencive immigration reform. thank you -- comprehensive immigration reform. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose

guest: they say that the division between boehner and cantor is not much. it is being inflated by the media and by democrats. they have been publicly taking sides, but many house republicans would like a big deal. they would like to cut as much as possible. that might be in the area of the $4 trillion that boehner was discussing. they are adamantly opposed to tax increases. in that respect, they have allegiance to both parties. boehner is clearly more willing to talk about broad tax reform and some of the things that the democrats want to talk about. cantor did not see that as producing a result that to not include something that was a tax increase. the more likely option is to pursue a more modest deal that they talked about in the biden group. now that boehner has backed away from the grand bargain that he was talking about, there does not seem to be any daylight between them. at least on policy. the democrats are still pushing for the grand bargain to come back on to the table. that is something to watch in the coming days. host: as we move toward the we

and if you think about, let's say, myself and speaker boehner, i like speaker boehner personally, and when we went out and played golf we had a great time. but that didn't get a deal done in 2011. the i'm over here at congressional picnic and folks are coming up and taking pictures with their family, i promise you, michelle and i are very nice to them and we have a wonderful time. [laughter] but it doesn't prevent them from going onto the floor of the house and blasting me for being a big-spending socialist. [laughter] and the reason that, in many cases, congress votes the way they do, or talks the way they talk, or takes positions in negotiations that they take doesn't have to do with me. it has to do with the imperatives that they feel in terms of their own politics -- right? they're worried about their district. they're worried about what's going on back home. i think there are a lot of republicans at this point that feel that given how much energy has been devoted in some of the media that's preferred by republican constituencies to demonize me, that it doesn't look real good soci

an intervention for speaker boehner and the house republicans. now, this intervention is not because they are wearing goofy hats or are spray tanning too much. this intervention is over their obsession with repealing or delaying the affordable care act also known as obamacare. just this week the open enrollment period ended and it is estimated that more than seven million americans signed up for private health coverage through healthcare.gov or their state exchanges. that number does not include the millions of young adults who are staying on their parents' plans or those getting coverage through medicaid for the first time. the open enrollment period was one of the final pieces of obamacare. now millions of americans finally have access to affordable coverage that can't be taken away just because they get sick. despite that, speaker boehner and the house republicans are committed to fighting the battle that they've lost and have scheduled the 52nd vote to repeal or delay obamacare. the affordable care act passed the house, it passed the senate a
